Locked Doors (Transit Demo)

Original and similar lyrics

Okay, take a look, look, look at you
Gotta match the face with the feeling
Check the flash, record, start the healing
Right now... right now...
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, start again
It's hard admitting you're not fitting with your old friends
The clock is ticking, and the clicking is the only thing in your head
In your head
Pieces of your love life
Came crashing down
And breaking up
And locked doors aren't that hard to bust through
Did you stay true to what's been true to you?
When all of the wreckage settles
Will all of your precious metals
Sleep with you like the devil who seduced you?
You'd better get used to waking up alone
Okay, take a look, look, look at this
It's a wreck, a wreck is what you needed
Check the stats; you're better when you're bleeding
I'll wash my hands, these bloody prints
So stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, start again
It's hard admitting you're not fitting with your old friends
It's so disarming watching all the walls come closing in
In on you, you've got no clue; one, two...
Pieces of your love life
Came crashing down
And breaking up
And locked doors aren't that hard to bust through
Did you stay true to what's been true to you?
When all of the wreckage settles
Will all of your precious metals
Sleep with you like the devil who seduced you?
You'd better get used to waking up alone
Oh, whoa, my head is screaming at me
It's screaming at me, 'cause I
Put my money where your mouth was, mouth was
Tastes good, does it?
Can't sleep because it always was the...
Pieces of your love life
Came crashing down
You're breaking up
These locked doors aren't that hard to bust through
Did you stay true to what's been true to you?
When all of the wreckage settles
Will all of your precious metals
Sleep with you like the devil who seduced you?
Well, you better get used to waking up alone
You better get used to waking up alone...

[Verse One: Eve]
You can love Eve, hate Eve, I don't care
Cop my shit, dog, play this here
Come through, ride out, bitch like me
Stomped out you little flames ever so politely, it's me
[Chorus: Truth Hurts]
You know what this is, got the crowd like WHAT!
Ain't a bitch alive that can take my WHAT!
This time when I come, it's gone be like WHAT!
It ain't hard to tell you just been done
[Verse Two: Eve]
This bitch, sick spit, clips toxic
Oh shit, that's it
Tired of my voice Plug ya ears
Outrageous by choice Love the stares
Knew my time would come, was prepared
Comeback second to none, still she here
What, whatever though, cats incredible
Watch me jaw-drop, y'all stuck like vegetables
Take my shine That's my lifeline
Sit back and watch me chart climb, bitch, now it's all mine
I ain't givin' up or lettin' up, advice Step it up
Slow down, cause your mistakes is catchin' up
Fan's a fan and you scramblin', I'm sittin' pretty
Ain't nothing left but me standing and you ain't wit me
Sob stories all you left wit cause it's over
Some say I'm mad, naw, I'm just a little colder
[Chorus: Truth Hurts]
You know what this is, got the crowd like WHAT!
Ain't a bitch alive that can take my WHAT!
This time when I come, it's gone be like WHAT!
It ain't hard to tell you just been done
[Verse Three: Eve]
I'm the boss of this, know the cost when you floss wit this
Got you lost like 'Excuse me, miss'
Can't give up, you step, I jump five steps ahead
Need new shit, old tactics is dead
Anything that you thought was the shit, it ain't
All the things that you thought you could do, you can't
While I'm here, heh... stay prepared
Veins in ya eyes while you stare, nose flared out
Same as it used to be, niggas clear out
Open spaces, heh, I replaced it
Disappointment on all ya faces
Cheer up, back to the basics, I geared up
Settled this, stuck, and I'm here, what
What you gonna do to take me out Nothing!
But thank you cause you caked me out
Watched you, studied you, made me better
Played you, faded you, now they sweat her
Got through the door only cause they let her
Dose of the first was cool, but it gets better
Yeah... shit gets better
[Chorus: Truth Hurts]
You know what this is, got the crowd like WHAT!
Ain't a bitch alive that can take my WHAT!
This time when I come, it's gone be like WHAT!
It ain't hard to tell you just been done
[fade out]

You can love Eve, hate Eve, I don't care
Cop my shit, dog, play this here
Come through, ride out, bitch like me
Stomped out you little flames ever so politely, it's me

[Verse 1 - Joe Budden]
Baby girl told me in my sleep I was talkin
So it's only natural I asked her what I said? (said)
She said she woke up when she heard
But she was so damn tired she couldn't make out a word" (out a word)
She said she was tryin to see if eventually I would scream the name of a bird (bird)
I told her that's absurd ('surd), and then gave her the face like "word?" (word)
And then she replied yeah, said it was quite weird, said she was type scared
I said "that's a side effect that you get
when you trade bad dreams for some great nightmares" ('mares)
When I close my eyes (eyes), I escaped the Poltergeist
my escape from reality, just what I needed
Brings me to a place where shorty never cheated (hey!)
And even if she tried and succeeded
In this other world I wouldn't even get heated
Fuck (fuck) the details, I don't care about why
I'm chillin with my grandmother, she ain't die (she ain't die)
I was browsing online and seen Mike on a banner
That said "you can be like me and beat cancer"
Anything I touched, I'd feel (feel)
No inspection but it seemed so real (real)
Was leavin out the casino with a nympho
Yes, Ray it can be so simple (oh)
Here's how I arrive a problem with my kin folk
Learn how to build me a house with no win-dows
And that's when I think I saw a ribbon in the sky but it wasn't from an in-tro
'Cause where I'm at is no rumors or gossip but still got love for Ms. In-fo
She said in my sleep I'd be laughin, but shit be funny to me (oh)
Look, my ice cream was two hundred degrees
if it dripped, I'd get a hole in my dungarees
See, my anonymity is my protection (what else?)
and me and hip-hop have no connection (what else?)
Which got me to reflectin, is that why the mirror won't show my reflection?
When I close my eyes, there's no dollars
so we can scratch that one as an excuse (or)
Or why folks do the things they do (or)
or why people act so brand new (let's go)
I had wings on flyin out a prison with a ratchet
was only there 'cause someone snitched
Look (look here), no one's poor but no one's rich
just my way of creepin if life's a bitch
Took a walk on the ceiling just to get my mind right
That was yesterday (so), so in hindsight
Since I was able to haul off
I took it as God tellin me I'll never fall off (off)
Got rid of name brands in the jewelry (why?)
most people just use it as medicine
Like it take 'em somewhere they ain't never been (but)
but here you better off not better than (oh!)
Stuck in the room with a elephant
Opened the closet and dapped up my skeleton
Had a convo with a man with no ears
And all of a sudden everything became so clear (clear)
Have no fear, I just bought a first class trip to nowhere - everybody goes there
But they don't stay the whole year, me? I got three hundred and sixty-five shows there
My girl said in my sleep, I'd be walkin (walkin), so I ask baby, where I go?
Uh, she said I be walkin slow
but she don't ever want to get out of bed, so she don't know
I went to see a man walkin on water (and)
Asked if he'd ever get things back in order (and)
I've been there two years, over a quarter
But everytime I open my eyes, it's like torture (torture)
He said "please, I gave you a whole 'nother world for you to go do with as you please
Just so you appeased, mixed with a couple of signs about real life while you make believe"
So I (so I), teleported out of there with a grin
Met a bum with a mansion, invited me in
Then (then), we politiced, about politics
Said somethin about Def Jam, I ain't acknowledge it
I went to see a virgin with AIDS, yeah I thought about smashin that (why?)
yeah her ass was fat
So appealin, tattoo on her inner thigh said
"she doin better than she was feelin" (feelin)
I think I seen shorty before (like), maybe in a club or somethin
Or, maybe in VIP, but wasn't nobody there but me
And the club was all red (red)
Then she started playin with my head (my head)
And then I came
Then I asked shorty, "what's her name?"
And it was weird 'cause she fucked around, disappeared (uh, 'peared)
like what a cruel joke (look)
Cig lit but from it was no smoke
Flicked in the ash tray and seen Stack's face
Flash through a school hallway on a half day
Was gettin chased, couldn't tell by who (or)
Then a hallway turned into a cliff (what else?)
Screamin piff before I was dead
Some coward chopped my ass up out that bed
Then baby girl told me in my sleep, I was screamin (screamin)
so I said that's a lie (that's a lie)
She put her right hand in the sky and said "you was, but I don't know
why, got to go, goodbye" (goodbye, goodbye ...)

Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement thinking about the goverment
the man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,
says he's got a bad cough: wants to get it paid off
God knows when but you're doin' it again!
you better duck down the alleyway lookin'for a new friend
the man in the coonskin cap by the big pen
wants eleven dollar bills: you only got ten
Look out, kid
Look out, kid, it's somethin' that you did
Look out, kid, 'cause they keep all hid
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
talkin' at the heat put plants in the bed but
the phone's tapped anyway, maggie says that many say
they must bust in early may
orders from the D.A.
Walk on your tip toes, don't try no doz
better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes
you don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
Look out, kid
Look out, kid, it's somethin' that you did
Look out, kid, 'cause they keep all hid
Looks to me like you did
a little to much hittin' kid
you should've took it to the bridge
before you started to skid
Look out, kid
the good god willin', we'll bebop to Bob Dylan
chillin'em, thrillin'em, and red hot killin'em
killin'em
Get sick, get well, hand around a ink well
ring bell, hard to tell if anything is goin' to sell
try hard, get barred, get back, write braille
get jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you fail
But users, cheaters, six time losers
hand around the theatres
girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool
don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters
Look out, kid
Look out, kid, it's somethin' that you did
Look out, kid, 'cause they keep all hid

I guess I woke up on the wrong side
Aye, all I hear is homicide
I can't sleep, I can't close my eyes
All I see is dollar signs
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
Up early like I'm ready for work
Fuck that, I'm up early like I'm ready for church
Better yet, like I'm ready to murk
Tray pound, ski mask, gloves on like I'm ready for dirt
I'm just doin' my thang, reppin' my city I bang
And we be that gang, movin that caine
Gettin it soft, flippin' it hard then move it again
Get in that kitty, gettin that cake, I'm just chasin my dreams man
This part of my game plan
Queens nigga, south side
Your girl with me, her mouth wide
I'm out chea goin' shinny just like I'm all clear
Niggas talk tough, don't believe them at all
Like leafs they fall before winter, nigga
I guess I woke up on the wrong side
Aye, all I hear is homicide
I can't sleep, I can't close my eyes
All I see is dollar signs
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
And if they'll give me life I guess I'll sleep in the feds
And even if a nigga gotta sleep in the feds
It's death before dishonor, I'm a G 'til I'm dead
No matter if they throw a nigga under the jail
Where I'm from, loose lips they cut your tongue if you tell
To my ginger bread niggas runnin', jumpin' the bail
Drop a bag on their head then boys comin' to kill
And if that bag get dropped you know we comin' to kill
Better turn to ginger bread and get to runnin' for real
You know the street's cold (my heart colder)
Have the homies clean your clock when you start your Rover
I guess I woke up on the wrong side
Aye, all I hear is homicide
I can't sleep, I can't close my eyes
All I see is dollar signs
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
Out the pussy drowsy on the wake up
Quarter brick taped up
Love this bitch, suck a mean dick, and hook a steak up
Fiends hit the other line waiting
Motherfucker, just be patient
Yellow stones on watch faces
Bird's out the trunk, turn the zippies into briefs
Niggas hit Collins ave for hoes to see the beach
I play the room with a bitch and go to sleep
Niggas think I'm movin' left but Sen found a new connect
Watch how I make this rock shine
Deuce bitch to a dime, get you out that'09
My niggas say they need driveways with Ferrari's
Make a call and come and get you
Curl You like some calamari motherfucker
I guess I woke up on the wrong side
Aye, all I hear is homicide
I can't sleep, I can't close my eyes
All I see is dollar signs
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
Boy, you better sleep when you dead
(That's all I hear that's all I hear that's all I hear)
